Francois Hollande this as “the great reform” of social quinquennium. The draft law on social dialogue simplifies rules in business for “locks up” hiring and implements staff activity account. It is presented Wednesday, April 22 in the Council of Ministers.
The reform, led by the Minister of Labour François Rebsamen , was developed after the failure of negotiations between employers and unions in January. It aims to simplify the rules “too formal” and “complex” which, according to the Government, a brake on business performance and thus the hiring.
Over time, other shutters are added to the project including the creation by 2017 of a personal account activity bringing together the various existing accounts (tough, training …).
President Francois Hollande said that this Sunday, April 19 account that employees can keep throughout their careers and who will be their “capital”, would be “the great reform” Social of his five years. Its contours and conditions will be specified by law in 2016 after a consultation or negotiation with the social partners.
Creating a “prime activity”
Other Custom made is grafted to the project: the creation of a “prime business,” merging RSA-activity and employment bonus, which more than 5.6 million workers will be eligible. The subject was the cause of some confusion these days about its possible extension to working students and apprentices.
The issue was referred to the parliamentary debates, but the government has studied the option. To remain in the budget of 4 billion euros per year, this would mean to harm the other beneficiaries, especially young workers. They should reach at least 0.78 and net monthly minimum wage to be eligible, whereas they are from the 1st euro in the initial project.

On the social dialogue, reform simplifies representative bodies.
A unique staff delegation
It allows companies with less than 300 employees to group stewards, Works Council (EC) and Health Committee, safety and working conditions (CHSCT) within a single delegation staff (DUP) . Until then, this option was available only to companies with fewer than 200 employees and does not include the HSC. According to the government, 3,000 companies with more will implement a DUP.
“A simpler and more efficient operation will have positive effects on productivity, and indirectly on employment,” said the government.
As for the more than 300 employees, they will have to pass by majority agreement in order to consolidate instances. “About 7,000 companies covering 7 million employees are potentially affected.”
The project also creates a representation of small enterprises employees (TPE, less than 11 employees). This, however, will be via “regional joint committees,” whose members do not have access to business.
Three major events for mandatory negotiations
The reform also focuses information and consultation obligations and mandatory negotiations, which have increased in three major events.
To promote at the same time the path of some 600,000 representatives of employees surveyed in France, Text ensure minimal salary progression.
Presented in early April and labor, the bill has received a mixed reception, as well as employers’ union side.
Labor side, CGPME, very hostile to the representation for small, still heavy with said Tuesday that the “social layer cake” while the MEDEF sees a “semi-reforms collection”.
No union has given his free hand, the CFDT and CFTC reformist indicating that they will be vigilant on implementing decrees, in particular as regards the means of Representatives.
The Parliamentary Review Bill needs to start in late May in the National Assembly. The government hopes a final adoption before the end of September. He said he was “certain” of not having to push through with the 49.3.
